Cobratec Knives Gideon Automatic, D2 Steel

Product Description

The Cobratec Knives Gideon is an automatic folding knife with a 3″ D2 steel blade in a polished silver finish. The blade is a plain-edge drop point, a general-purpose shape with a solid tip and a good amount of cutting belly. Blade stock is 0.109″ thick, and the steel is rated at 64 HRC.

What sets the Gideon apart is the release. It uses a patent pending hidden release, and you push the bolster up to deploy the blade. There is no visible button on the handle. Once open, the blade is held by Cobratec’s Kinetic Locking System.

Size and build

The handle is 6061 T6 aluminum in silver. The knife measures 7.5″ overall and 4.25″ closed, and it weighs 2.7 oz. That makes it a compact size for a pocket or a small bag. It is made in China and sold under the Gideon series name, model number CTGHRSSB.

The Gideon suits people who want an automatic knife for daily tasks like opening boxes, cutting cord, or general camp and shop work. It also fits collectors who like a clean silver finish. Automatic knives are regulated differently from state to state, so check your local laws before you order.

For gear, a small sharpening stone helps keep a D2 edge in shape. A knife pouch protects the polished finish in a bag or glove box. A compact flashlight or multi-tool rounds out a basic carry kit.
